5 The LADY is a hungry ship. Here she replenishes her larders while at sea. The LADY is a large ship, she must be to care for her own. Nearly 3,000 menq live aboard her. Three football fields could be laid end to end on the flight deck. One of her hanger bays accomodates a thousand men when movie call is sounded. A thousand automobile 'engines would be required to produce the power her four turbines generate. A complete hospital, a bakery, a tailor shop, laundry, weather station, and a hundred other services are complete within her. She is a hungry ship too. She carries fuel for herself and her destroyer plane guards, as well as jet fuel and aviation gasoline necessary for the aircraft. Her men are hungry too. For them she provides daily bread, over.'700 loaves each day. Their appetites are voracious, 11,000 pieces of silverware are used at a normal meal. Like good Navymen every where the LADY'S men like coffee, they drink over 15,000 gallons of it each month. N 'MM- Three football fields could be laid end to end on the flight deck
